am i gonna notice a hell of a difference between 54 and 108mbps?

if my card is 54 anyway theres no need for a bigger one is there?

Also... if i do get the 54mbps one, will it only run at that speed wired aswell? or is it quicker wired?

That linksys is prolly the right price. They aren't bad actually, especially their latest firmwares since they were bought by Cisco...

The wired ports will run at 100Mbps.

If you can avoid wireless I would, but if you really need it then go for it It's still not a 'mature' technology...

If they are clever, they would've backed themselves up in their terms and conditions. So wouldnt think so mate.

For around £60 the DG834G would do you. Wouldnt notice a difference between 54Mbps and 108Mbps unless if you do constistant moves of files around your network.
